|  Dual booting xp and vista ult. on 2 drives. I've just gotten Vista Ult. I have trusty old xp pro on my 150 Raptor. I have installed vista on another H.D. I'd like the option of booting one or the other with ease. No partitions. Can one of you techies help a noob?  |

| Re: Dual booting xp and vista ult. on 2 drives. I have seen software for sell,....vista boot pro. And tons of info on dual booting on one drive. I understand that this option tends to have more pitfalls. Is there a way to dual boot, easily with two drives? |

Just download it install it and add a entry for your second Vista install. If you got quesitons the forums there can answer them easily.
